How to fix the below error when trying to start Eclipse
When using the Maven plugin for Eclipse i get the following message : 'The Maven Integration requires that Eclipse be running in a JDK...', how to solve this?
The fully error message that you might get is as follows:
The Maven Integration requires that Eclipse be running in a JDK, because a number of Maven core plugins are using jars from the JDK.
Please make sure the -vm option in eclipse.ini is pointing to a JDK and verify that Installed JREs are also using JDK installs.
To solve this problem add a new option into your eclipse.ini (which is located in your Eclipse installation folder):
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin
It is important to have this line on the correct location, otherwise Eclipse will have no clue about this setting:
-showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms40m -Xmx512m
It has to be before the -vmargs argument.
